A setup to compliment your event
To assist with the setup and delivery of your event, we have compiled an array of layouts with descriptions. Please note that due to furniture constraints, some layouts are not compatible at the same time, i.e. full lecture style in both venue spaces. Please discuss your setup requirements with our team.
The Interpretation Suite
Our lobby area accommodates up to 40 guests standing and features either a special edition Wealth of Nations or The Theory of Moral Sentiments on display. The interactive screens provide an engaging account of Adam Smith’s life and works.
Activity recommendations:
- Holding area for guests as they arrive before heading into the main House
